Ren'Py - Desert Stalker [v0.16c] [Zetan]

This game is a masterpiece, there is no other way to describe it.
Those who are looking for a quick fap should avoid it (although there is plenty of amazing sex scenes): this is something meant to be enjoyed, not rushed.
There isn't a lot of good writing around here on F95, but this is one of the few great exceptions. Not only the writing is pretty great (in English, with no grammar or spelling mistakes), but it contributes to create a believable world populated with believable characters, back stories, lore...
Sometimes, one feels this could be a TV series -- yes, it is that good!
Some random notes:
- The music is atmospheric and contribues to the general immersion
- The "harem" theme is explored in unusual ways and dynamics...
- ... and the same can be said about "incest"
- The dev makes it possible to choose to rename the MC, as usual, but you can additionally choose to label MC's just as "You", which is interesting if your idea is to imagine yourself as the MC. Nice touch.
- The renders (and animations and cutscenes) are top notch. Not only the characters but also everything else
- Unlike so many VNs, this is a true game, with quests and relevant choices that can get you killed and end the game prematurely
- The interface is simple and contributes for the gameplay in a positive way.
- Grind? There is no grind!

Even if this is not your cup of tea (although it is mine), it is impossible not giving it less than 5 stars.

This game is amazing. It's been on my backlog for a long while, and I finally had the chance for a good sitdown with it. I went in expecting like horny Fallout New Vegas. It turned out way better than I expected.

The story goes like 400 years back, some crazy apocalyptic event happened and the world's all fucked up and trying to rebuild some form of civilization slowly. Your character is basically the courier from Fallout, but smarter and cooler. They call him a "Stalker", which is just a fancy way of saying some legendary merc/scout that goes out and raids caves/tombs/towns/villages, not looking for supplies - but whatever treasure and fancy knick-knacks he can get for the queen. Yada yada, there's lot of different factions and they all try to sink their hooks into you and get you to work for them/influence other factions.

MC is less badass survivor and more like a gruff, wise spartan. The setting was already made like 400 years back, so he was born into this fucked world and its customs. When you start the game, he's like 40ish? Looks like he's in his 20s still to me, though. I can appreciate that through your choices, he's a good father figure, a shameless pervert, and can be either diplomatic or ruthless. The game makes you decide what his relations are to his family, but tbh, I think them being your blood-related family makes more sense, since you meet and fall in love with your wife whilst she was still being sheltered - so your daughters being unrelated makes little sense.

To preface this, in the slowly rebuilding civilization, your culture allows you to have a very open relationship that even extends to all sorts of incest. MC goes for the wife, the daughters, the cousin, the aunt, the servants, his friend's niece. And even then, I think nearly every one of them is extremely sexy. Like astronomically.

The family is just insanely horny. Your wife and daughters are super exotic and sensual. The older daughter gives off Lara Croft, capable badass vibes. The younger one is more like a political princess, trying to figure out her role in the family. Your wife gives her all being the mistress of the house while taking care of everyone, and I think the flashbacks to your meetings with her are pretty nice. There's stuff with the aunt and how she was your Ex, but it mostly leads to her rediscovering herself and allowing her family to reintegrate into her lost cultural background.

The other side girls, also feel pretty special. There's like 2-3 girls that you can do stuff with in the other factions. The interesting ones imo: Ivy > Asani > Pepper > Fangs > Mantis > Kyra + sis. It seems like Ivy is going to be a crucial part of the story, since she's been getting more time with MC lately. Asani seems special, since she has a history of being a result of the weird breeding program in MC's city. The rest are figureheads in their own factions - so they're more or less doing quid pro quo stuff with MC.

Renders are beautiful, probably one of the best I've seen on this site. The animations are realistic and plentiful. Many of the women in this game are tan and nicely so. Their facial features are still apparent and wonderfully detailed. I've seen some projects do a disservice to darker skin tones, so it makes me really happy to see it done so well here! The lighting and textures of everything even highlight how erotic and sensual the game is at its peaks.

The music is nice. It ranges from exotic and cultural stuff to techno synthwave stuff. I even noticed some slowed + reverbed versions of older songs. At times, they even have really relaxing white noise play in the background, almost sounding like silent hill music. The game doesn't fall into any preconceptions you may have about it. There could be more sound effects in the sex scenes, but if you've played ren'py VNs before, the lackthereof won't bother you too much. They're mostly there for the main story and do well in emphasizing important moments.

This game's a 5/5 to me. The updates are few and infrequent probably, but the amount of content at hand is baffling. I hope the devs do their best to keep up the quality of content in future updates and wish them luck!

THIS. This is the gold standard every other adult game needs to be compared to. It has it all, professional writing with sexy dialog, great kinks, and sexy characters. The first game I actually am happy supporting financially

The epitome of VN games.

This is the one. Period. It has everything you could be possibly looking for. Story, character development, sex scenes, personality, choices that change the story.

This is what every other VN should be aspiring to be. I have found 0 fault in this game. I have spent at least 8-10 hours in it and maybe I am nearing the end of the content? But that does not matter. I am sold. You will love this game.

I can’t even find the words for what I experienced while playing this game. No game of this format has ever given such feelings, the characters are not ordinary dummies with a minimum of character, but well-written and alive, as if it were a whole film with notes of NSW. I can’t even describe those emotions when the Eldest daughter returns home from the Zone and during Her nightmare killed her youngest daughter, which caused not only shock, but anger and pain in her heart. I recommend this game not only to fans of 18+, but also to ordinary people who are looking for games similar to Fallout, The Last of Us and Stalker.(The author of the review is not English, but Tatar, the author’s native language is Tatar)

How the fuck does a porn game have good writing? I'm genuinely baffled... Whenever I play a porn game, I expect subpar dialogue. Subpar scenarios. Anemic stupidity. But this... in the short time I've played this game, I got edginess that wasn't too edgy and enough story to stave my lust. It's... baffling.

The best porn fantasy game out there byfar.

I first played this game when i was really not into AVGNs that were set in anything but a parady of IRL. Desert Stalker really really surprized me in how interesting the setting is. Its a mix between Fallout, Mad Max, and Stalker. With a little bit of Egyptian mythology and Tomb Raider mixed in. All of these inspirations work really well meshed together and it creates this setting which is both very interesting and very bold.

The renders are so fucking good. Every character is top tier amounts of sexy in terms of their fashion and their body. I love the attention to detail on the female waist and nipples. I fucking love the strong abs on these characters and the dresses that they have on that show cleavage its perfect. My favorites have to be the family though your two daughters and your wife are so damn sexy its crazy.

Animations are some of the best in AVGNs. There are fully animated cutscenes that have action in them that actually looks really good. The sex scenes have to be some of the best ive ever seen. One in particular involving your family has to be some of the best animation ive ever seen in a sex scene.

Fantastic game. Probably the best sandbox renpy game ever made. This is how sandbox should be done. Couple of locations, all quickly accessible without the need of navigating a labyrinth AND TIME ITSELF

You are a guy in a post-apocalyptic setting and you go about your business serving your queen and banging your family and slaves as well as some other people along the way. Magnificent stuff truly.

Dialogue is kept to a minimum yet still has better characterization than pretty much any artsy fartsy modern-day relationship reconstruction VN.

Loads of sex scenes with different girls and the scenes are magnificent-looking, absolutely gorgeous. Some have animations as well, absolute PEAK.
There is some sharing content too if you are into that, but it fits the setting here and doesn't feel in any way forced or contrived. Perfect.

Such sheer quality leaves me speechless, making it difficult to leave a review. 100% recommended. Graphics are 10/10, scenes are marvelous, some girls have sort of a branching, no blueballing shit because of lack of h-content that you may usual see in renpy games. Idk really about story and overall game lore though, for now it sort of fades in the background. Wanna nut? dl now. Excellent, there's nothing that can go in compare with that. And while I'd never be mad about that, some must now - protag is OP machine that gets what he wants very easily, so no self-insertion here

Extremely promising story line with even better animations and character design. Even the non erotic scenes were cool especially some of the gory ones so be warned. cant wait until the story is finished and we see more of the unique characters

I kept skipping over this game because my first impression from the images was "redonkulous boobage". And yeah, now that I've played it, I do wish some of the body shapes were a little more realistic, and that there were some more petite figures in the mix.
But holy crap, the writing and world building and characters and lewdosity is top notch. This has rocketed straight up to might top five, and I cannot wait for the next episode.
The horror and ultraviolence moments are really well done as well; I hope the dev keeps those up. It's great to see a game that pushes boundaries (like that kiss after using the "dragon") without getting cartoony.
And then there are moments of pure strange beauty, like Julia or Ivy's hideaway.
If you're looking for a game with smokin' hot h-scenes *and* an awesome story. look no further.

Extremely high quality. Excellent character designs, writing, framing, animation and cinematography. A good blend of porn and narrative. As someone that started with 0.15, there is an absurd amount of content here. Even so, I'm desperate for more because this is just so good.

I just love how this story is going, it was a little slow in places, but it has gained a lot of momentum, there are more girls in the harem, more adventures and of course, more choices to make. The graphics are really good, the atmosphere to each story fits perfectly, that is why this one gets 5 stars, just a great story with lots of beautiful girls

This is one of the better VN games out there. Story is interesting, writing is good, models are good, but its development speed prohibits 5 stars. The past year of updates has under an hour of new content, considering the level of support this game has that is much too slow, especially considering the rate of new content was significantly higher in the first couple years of development.

Outstanding game, excellent story and animations. Kept me sucked in for the whole thing currently waiting for the next update. It was very hard to get off when I needed to go to bed lol. I would say ok only a little bit more and then there I was an hour later past my bedtime

So far so good, Story is excellent & what you can do & re-peat, what I hope for the future is more fun with fair, more fun - repeat with the Sister in law/your ex & her daugther aswell..I also look foward to more with bandit girls & the Queen. so far its Solid 9 out 10.

All the girls in the game are beautiful the model are superb and the animation really sexy which easily deserve 5 star. The story is actually interesting too making this one of the must play on this site. Plus as an added bonus the creator is active and the update are regular and contain a good amount of content.

One of the best postapocalyptic games i ever played that actually have very nice and interesting story with beautiful characters, animations and scenery. There were some wow moments and texts were very well written for this kind (erotic, porn) game, so i read every single word of dialogs to not miss any piece of story. I really recommend this one

It doesn't fuck around, but it also definitely fucks around. Has enough story to give context, and a novel enough world to make going to new places interesting. Delivers porn early and often. Has a strong cast of harem members. And lets you play a dominant character without necessarily having to be violent or brutal about it (at least by post-apocalyse standards). All over a high effort, well made version of exactly what it advertises.
